Distribution of phasic activity of NAc neurons during the sucrose/cocaine multiple schedule. (a) Breakdown of phasic activity of NAc neurons (core and shell, combined) recorded before cocaine abstinence. (b) Phasic activity of NAc neurons (core and shell, combined) recorded following 30 days of cocaine abstinence. After abstinence, the percentage of sucrose-selective cells significantly decreased, whereas the percentage of cocaine-selective cells significantly increased. *p<0.05. (c) Phasic activity of neurons in the NAc core vs. shell. In the core, the percentage of cocaine-selective cells significantly increased from Day 1 to Day 30. In the shell, the percentage of sucrose-selective cells significantly decreased from Day 1 to Day 30. *p<0.05.
